Police officers: What's the craziest, most off-the-wall excuse you've ever gotten from a speeder?

So many people on here are trying to figure out creative new ways to beat speeding tickets in court or claim the officer was breaking the law, in the wrong or just plain stupid for issuing it that I thought this might be a fun question to ask so we can point and laugh at the speed demons.

"I'm dyslexic, I must have read the number on my speedometer backwards." I pulled him for 55 in a 40. |

I stopped some drunks one night and when I told the guy I stopped him for going 75 in a 50mph zone...his buddy crack up laugh,,,,and said " Your full of s***...we were going at least a hundred."
The funniest thing was a wreck involving an old man. He had made a left turn right in front of this other car without yielding to him. He was so mad he was about to fight the other man. I finally told the old man he was in the wrong....not the other guy. He then said...Why h*ll..I've been turning there everyday for the last 30 years, at this same time of day, and he should have known I was going to turn. |

I'm not a cop, but a friend made a traffic stop in the 80's, and the guy said he was rushing home so as not to miss "Hill Street Blues" a very popular cop show. The guy descibed the whole plot line, and why it seemed important to not miss it that night.
My friend gave him a warning, and shined him on. |

It wasn't for a speeding citation, but for a stop sign violation. I pulled over an out of state driver for running a stop sign. When I asked the driver why he failed to stop for the stop sign he said, "I didn't think the sign was for me". Too dumb to be driving. |

I took a popo to court and I won, cuz he pulled me over in a 45 going 42, just before it changed to a 35 zone. He wrote the address down which proved I was in the 45! I took pictures and put him on the stand!
He made a fool of himself and lost! |
